Anti-Israel demonstrators in Toronto last week called for the erasure of Israel.
Footage of the event uploaded by multimedia journalist Beth Baisch showed the demonstrators chanting “From Palestine to Lebanon, Israel will soon be gone.”
According to JNS, public school students were forced to participate in the anti-Israel rally after parents were told that their children would be observing a demonstration at Grange Park against mercury contamination in an Ontario First Nation tribe.

I am deeply disappointed by yesterday’s events. Compromising the security and safety of students is unacceptable.
I expect TDSB to conduct a thorough review of the situation and ensure accountability with parents and students to prevent future incidents. https://t.co/kktw7aTPNY

They lied about the purpose of the field trip.
They lied about what students would do.
The @TDSB teachers who lied to #Toronto parents must be held accountable. pic.twitter.com/PNEXpfopWM
